There was an interesting attempt at a decentralized web based social network built ontop of the old unix finger protocol. It was a number of years back. Anyone remember it?
@mcscx @chpietsch Langsam (sehr langsame) bekommt man schon mal etwas zu sehen. Wenn jemand Interesse hat, kann er sich eine kleine Beschreibung der ersten 3 Anwendungen ansehen.
Aktuell bin ich dabei mich in c++, #boost, #sqlite3 und #ncurses einzuarbeiten. Für die sorganizer Shell bin ich am überlegen #flex und #bison zu benutzen. Dann wollte ich eigentlich noch ein #wxWidgets bauen,... aber wann ich das machen soll,... aber wer braucht auch schon X-Programme, wenn man eine shell und ncurses hat :-)
Also,... das wird richtig interessant,... wenn jemand Lust hat, einfach melden.
#AndStatus v.37.00 is available in the Open Beta testing channel https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 "Merging actors of Users from different Social Networks. New Interactions timeline" 1. Actors having the same WebFingerId (e.g. "andstatus@loadaverage.org") in different social networks are merged logically. This allows AndStatus to show you in one timeline activities of one actor, downloaded via different instances. This is especially needed for GNU Social and Mastodon. Please note that for Pump.io this feature is provided for years, because all Pump.io instances use the same actorID (WebFingerId) for the same actor. 2. Mentions timeline is replaced by Interactions, which shows not only "mentions" and replies, but also likes, reposts and followers. Basically "Interactions" timeline shows all interactions of other users with us (our actors) whereas "Notifications" timeline shows us only those interactions, which we preferred to be notified about in Settings > Notifications, plus unsent notes. 3. Names of things in the User interface (mostly) changed according to the #ActivityPub Recommendations. In particular, now we use the word "note" for tweets/toots/notices. And the words "Actor" and "User" have different meanings (In ActivityPub, a user is represented by "actors" via the user's accounts on servers. User's accounts on different servers correspond to different actors.) Most of Timelines in AndStatus show Activities now instead of Notes. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4102974
